: Untap all creatures you control. After this main phase, there is an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase. Activate only as a sorcery.
Why is this card good?
Aggravated Assault is the budget backbone of extra-combat strategies. On its own, per loop is expensive and only worth it if your board already swings hard — but it shines when you can make those combats free or infinite.
Why it's good: The card combos with anything that generates when you attack or untap. The classic infinite is Sword of Feast and Famine (untaps your lands on combat damage) plus this — a clean two-card win in red decks that connect. Bear Umbra and Nature's Will do the same job.
Who wants it: Aggressive Voltron and big-creature commanders like Aurelia, Najeela, Krenko, or any Gruul/Boros stompy build. Token decks that go wide also love repeated combats.
When not to play it: Slow control, spellslinger, or decks that don't reliably attack — you'll just have a do-nothing enchantment. It also needs you to already be ahead on board; it doesn't create threats, only multiplies them.
